squeeky, please help out
 
i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem, when im sitting at an idle, i get like a squeeky belt sound, but i took it in and its not, they said they lubed everyhthing, and tightened the tension pully, they said everything is fine and that its just a sound, but i have a feeling it is a problem, because when i touch the clutch, even an inch in the squeeking stops, but when i let off it takes about 2 or 3 seconds and starts up again, if anyone knows what this is or how to fix it, ide love to know
thnx

I have this same problem. Have had it for a while. The noise goes away with warm weather once the car warms up. Or whenever I arrive at the dealer to try and have them fix it.

You'll also notice, while idling in neutral, if you press the gas the squeaking tempo increases.

I'm guessing (emphasis on guessing) it's a faulty throwout baring.

Seems Abbid has the same problem we do:
